Procedure for embroidering appliqués
a
Place stabilizer on the back of the appliqué fabric/
material.
b
Frame the fabric for the appliqué (from step
a
) in the
embroidery frame, and then embroider an [APPLIQUE
MATERIAL] pattern. The stitching outline that indicates
where the appliqué will be cut out is embroidered, and
then the machine stops.
c
Remove the appliqué fabric from the embroidery
frame, and carefully cut along the pattern stitching
outline.
d
Attach stabilizer material to the wrong side of the
fabric for the appliqué base.
e
Frame the base fabric or garment in the embroidery
frame, and then embroider an [APPLIQUE POSITION]
pattern. Once the appliqué position is embroidered,
the machine stops.
f
Lightly apply fabric glue or spray adhesive to the back
of the cut out appliqué piece, and then position the
appliqué piece to the base fabric on the embroidered
pattern from the Appliqué position pattern step
e
.
g
After positioning the appliqué piece, embroider the
[APPLIQUE] pattern. The appliqué is finished.
Note
• If the appliqué is cut out along the inside of the
embroidered cut line, the appliqué may not be
correctly attached to the fabric. Therefore, carefully
cut out the appliqué along the embroidered cut
line. If this step is not performed carefully, the
appliqué will not be cleanly finished. In addition,
carefully remove any excess threads.
Note
• Do not remove the fabric from the embroidery
frame when positioning the appliqué piece to the
base fabric.
Memo
• Depending on the pattern, an [APPLIQUE] pattern
may not be available. In this case, embroider the
appliqué using thread in the color of a part of the
embroidery.
